I can't download forge on my dell inspiron

[crazypoet18]

I have been attempting to install forge so I can mod my mineraft but it won't let me. Every time I go to install forge it tells me to open it with an app (or look for a similar app in microsoft store). I tried looking up articles online that had me do a coding solution by entering "java -Xnx2G -..." I don't remember the whole thing it had me enter but that didn't work either and came up with an error code. I don't have the Java version of minecraft, I have the windows version. I used to have java but it merged with windows and moved me to the windows edition rather than the Java edition. Please help me mod my minecraft.

Forge only works on Java Minecraft, not Bedrock. But you should be able to still get the java edition through the Minecraft launcher.

As for our installer, it also needs java itself to be installed. You can get it here: https://adoptium.net/
